Skills we can use to serve

Purpose

Learn skills that will prepare youth for lifelong service.

Description

Ask the youth or bishop who in the ward, branch, or community needs help (make sure not to discuss anything confidential). Make a list of the skills necessary to meet these needs. Then ask the youth to identify skills they don’t have (could include painting, simple construction, sewing, gardening, and so on). Ask the youth which skills they would like to learn to meet these needs. Make plans for how the youth will learn these skills. This could include asking an expert for help, finding and using training videos, getting a book on the subject, and so on.
